Parties that Cook presents: Valentine's Day Cooking Crush Party for Singles February 5, 2009

Parties That Cook® invites you to Valentine's Day Cooking Crush, an evening of wine tasting and cooking for singles. Admission includes a Southern Hemisphere wine tasting (6 wines provided by Sam's Wines) and pairing with a menu of international appetizers.

Cooking Crush guests will be greeted with a nibble, nametag and glass of wine. Guests will then be treated to a lively introductory cooking lesson by the Parties That Cook chefs featuring tips such as the fastest way to dice an onion without a tear. Singles will be split into co-ed teams to work on an array of Sumptuous Small Plates designed to pair with the wines being tasted. Each team will work on a recipe from the evening's tapas menu, all while sipping wine and listening to upbeat music.

The group will savor the fruits of their labor with new friends, or perhaps a Valentine's crush! After the event, copies of the recipes, digital photos and e-mail address aliases will be sent to the group.

- We limit the event to 15 men, 15 women with attention paid to keeping the gender ratio even.
- Past events have attracted singles ages 30-45.

- Participants will be given 10% off after-event purchases at Sam's.
